Grinity- Good to "see" you again. We have found a very gifted highschooler to "keep" her every now and then and he came over for the first time last week and she LOVED him. The wrote stories and did solving for x together LOL. We also had a Christmas party the other night and one of our guest turned out to be a former montessori teacher who recognized right off DD's "uniqueness" and spent the whole evening doing math and reading with her. He promised to come over and play with her again LOL. So now I just need to find some kids in elemetary ages for her to be able to play with.
Amanda - look at you! only 3 months and you've already found 2 wonderful potential allies! Talk about your social concerns to the montessori teacher and see what he/she suggests. Perhaps you are in the just right place, where people see each other's uniqueness and realize that resources are limited so feel more inclined to pitch in. I'll bet you have something to contribute as well.
Yippee!
